Chimie et Design Macromoléculaire

The research activities of the Chimie et Design Macromoléculaire (CDM) team focus on the design and study of polymer systems with innovative physicochemical and thermomechanical properties, such as recyclability, self-repair, reactivity to stimuli and reversible adhesion. These themes aim to develop sustainable chemistry and establish a circular economy for plastics. Our work is organized around four main themes which overlap in many respects: (i) networks and formulations incorporating dynamic covalent bonds, (ii) supramolecular assemblies, (iii) macromolecular synthesis methodologies, and (iv) hierarchically structured polymers.
